Strikes the key note when he says music is a science and should be taught by special ists and condemns ''rote practice" It should be the same with all sciences, but more especially the science of medicine. f'Rote practice' has been too long continued for the is the chariot wheel of progress. The age demands it. The necessities of the people compel it, hence give us more specialists and less general "rote practice' in the science of medicine.

society's salutes and Gestures.

Some of the attitudes of certain young men and women strongly resemble those we see in extreme exhaustion, hysteria and St Vitus' dance. Thus we may mention as ex- amples: Heads inclined to one side, a sym metrical posture of the spine, hands ill bal anced and contracted in the palm, with the fingers bent backward. Ladies in the draw ing room will sometimes assume pastures the very counterpart of those seen in chorea, while a languishing mode is thought to indi- cate esthetic refinement What shall we say about the habit of dressing the hair so as to cover the forehead, the bulwark of the brain, and making all expression in the hands, which should be opponents of the mental state, by perpetually carrying an opera hat, fan or flowers2 We might further dwell on a cultivated monotonous drawl of voice, with falsetto pitch, with absence of expression, power and energy in all the movements, the eyes being half open and not directed toward | the person addressed
 \ certain school of modern art seems to 1 lend much favor to this sort of thing. It has | been said that a man should dress with care and attention, for the first impression made on meeting a stranger IS to some degree pro duced by dress; to a much greater extent does the carriage and the mode of salute make all impression-the method should be manly. The salute should indicate the i'm precision produced by the meeting; of course it should be under control-never too cold or too effusive-but that does not justify a purely artificial method, meaning nothing. Shaking hands is often used as a pledge of contract, but then it must express the mental state. The unwholesome mode of gesture we have referred to is much on par with talking slang and the fictitious representa- tions of life given in some novels-British 1 Medical Journal.

The Power of Steam.

The following interesting figures are taken from a report of the bureau of statistics in Berlin: Four-fifths of the engines now work ing in the world have been constructed dur ing the last twenty-five years. The force equivalent to the working steam engines rep resents in the United States 7,500, 900 horse power; in England, 1000, 900 horse power; in Germany, 4,50o,oO0; in France, S,OOo, 900; in Austria, I, 100000. In these the motive power of the locomotive is not included, whose number in all the world amounts to 105, 900, and represents a total of S,0O0,000 horse power. Adding this amount to the other figures, we obtain the total of 46,0O0, ,0OC horse power. A steam horse power is equal to three actual horses power; a living horse is equal to seven men. The steam engines today represent in the world approximately the work of 1000, 0,0O0, 900 men, or more than double the working population of tho earth, whose total population amounts to 1,455, ,923 900 inhabitants.

Statesmen as French Scholars.

Many of the leading statesmen are good French scholars. Edmunds reads French easily. Hoar has many French books ill his library. Hit, of Illinois, can talk the lan- guage like Parisian. Allen G. Thurmans s amusements lie in the reading of French novels, and John Sherman's library is full of foreign books of finance, and he reads the French, though he does not speak it. Thur man learned the French at the same time he learned to snuff It was when he was a boy. A French professor, who had very pretty daughter, asked Thurman's mother to take charge of the girl, and she did so on condition that the professor would give young Allen French lessons. Prattling with the maiden and taking lessons of the professor he got foundation of the language which is not surpassed by that of any of our public men. The old professor snuffed and the boy begged pinches of the titillating powder be- tween the sentences, and thus acquired the habit, which has stuck to him through life, and which, added to his big nose and the gorgeous handkerchief which he uses to wipe it, has given him the title of Knight of the Red Bandana. n-Frank G.

 "It's a wonder that actors hve,n said a young player the other day. 1T don't know how it comes about, but managers seem to have no consideration for the climate in their arrangement of pieces. When was travel ing with the - company we always usel to do things like Siberia that required us to dress in furs in summer time, and we sweat under them we'll, I can tell you Then we invariably did Julius Cesar in the west in the dead of winter. Good heavensl it gives me a chill now when I think of the nights have lain on the floor of Nebraska barns as the murdered Caesar, with my breast and one arm bare and zero breezes creeping up through cracks in the floor and stealing in through doors and windows at the wings, had to lie there for ten solid minutes after I fell and didn't even have the liberty of shiv- ering.
 After awhile they gave me Mark Antony to play, and don't know but I suffered worse in that, for after the address to the populace I left the stage in a cast iron precipitation and dived into a dressing room full of draughts and temperature below freezing to make my change. have caught malaria in damp dressing rooms under the ground. I have shaken my internal appliances out of place by doing a twenty foot fall eight times a week for half season. have been on deck for nearly twenty-four hours at a stretch, what with rehearsals, matinees and evening performances. have gone to bed at l a. m. and got up at to catch trains. have played hard parts when I was sick enough to be in bed. have travelled all night and all day, unable to get o sleeper, and struck town too late for supper, and have gore directly to the theatre and howled and laughed an an empty stomach.
 "I can't abide pork, yet I've been mpelled to live on nothing else while playing the southern circuit. I've done museum work where I've had to study six, eight and ten parts in a week, comedy one day, tragedy that night, comic opera, pantomime, burles que, spectacle, melodrama, farce, sensation and society pieces all in a bunch. I've car ried the banner through the streets all night when I hadn't money enough to pay for a lodging, and when the ghost has failed to walk I've had to call on my uncle with my clothes and books and props to adjust mat ters amicably with my landlord People who have an idea that an actors trade is all roses and sunshine and genteel leisure and | wealth haven't got the correct idea, that's | all."-Brooklyn Eagle.

The Mustache Brush.

The latest fashionable fad for the toilet table of the gilded youth is the mustache brush, which is expected to have great run during the gift season. The brush is about the length of a lady's finger, its face covered with baby bristles, short and white. The frame and back is of gold, enameled with forget me nots or tiny heartease; some are studded with semi-precious stones. They are to be seen in the windows of the uptown jewellers, and without the labels might be mistaken for fairy crumb brushes.-New York Tribune.

The Longevity of Birds.

The human race is not the only one that has the privilege of furnishing centenarians. There are several birds that have the preten- sion to easily reach the age that MT. Chev- reul has attained. Among the candidates for the prize of longevity, says The Eleveur, must be cited the eagle, the swan and the raven, which live for over a century. The perroquet, as well as the heron, is content to become sexagenarian. The sparrowhawk lives to the age of 40, which is the age like wise reached by the duck and pelican The peafowl lives to be 25, the pigeon 20, the crane 24, the linnet 9, the goldfinch 15, the lark 13, the black headed warbler 15, the blackbird 12, the canary bird 24, the pheasant 15, the thrush 10, the domestic cock 10, the red throat 12 and the wren 3.-Scientifc American

Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox believes in prenatal influence. She says she was made poet be fore she was born by her mothers devotion to Lalla Rookh at that period. She also be- ieves in mirrors and never passes one with out looking into it. She says itis not vanity, but for reassurance that no disaster has over taken hustle, plume or collar since her last meeting with herself She always has a mir TOT before her when writing. When she is brought up into corner in composition, her swift upward glance invariably falls on the little plush lined reflection of herself, and i'm mediately the idea, rhyme, word or title is speared upon her impatient pen. She always writes in a rocker, lower from the table than ordinary writers.-New York Sun.
